Xie Sen moved closer to Maine to see more clearly, but Maine's hand that was pulling down his collar had loosened. The material of his clothes was very elastic and returned to its original shape in the blink of an eye, covering his chest.
Xie Sen paused as he approached, and Maine suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were slightly red, as if he had a fever.
He stared at Xie Sen, his eyes unconsciously falling on his lips.
Seeing that he woke up, Xie Sen breathed a sigh of relief, pointed silently at his chest, and made a gesture to pull down his collar.
Maine showed a hint of surprise in his eyes and did not take any action for a while.
Xie Sen was very anxious. He was worried that the abnormality of the beast pattern would disappear in a while.
He simply reached out and grabbed the edge of Maine's collar. Maine's eyes were filled with even more surprise, but he didn't stop him.
Xie Sen pulled down his collar and when he saw the animal pattern, he leaned closer.
He was right in what he saw just now. Maine's beast pattern had changed, and a pair of golden wings appeared on both sides of the roaring giant lion.
He raised his head, ready to tell Maine about his discovery, but met Maine's complex and deep eyes.
He was stunned, not understanding why his heartbeat suddenly quickened. He realized that they were too close to each other, so he moved back a little, pointed at Maine's chest, and motioned for Maine to look.
Maine withdrew his gaze from Xie Sen, and when he saw the changes in the beast pattern, he sat up straight with his back away from the tree trunk.
He lowered his head and looked for a long time, then reached out and held Xie Sen's wrist. Xie Sen followed his strength and loosened his collar, allowing his clothes to cover his animal pattern.
When Maine looked up, his face was full of uncontrollable excitement, and even his fingers were trembling slightly with excitement.
Although Xie Sen didn't understand why this happened, he knew what it meant. Maine's contracted beast was no longer Giant Lionmon, but Flying Lionmon, and it went from A-level to S-level.
No wonder Maine was so excited.
Xie Sen smiled. Maine's contracted beast was finally the same as in the book. He no longer had to worry about it.
His smile was quickly replaced by worry. Everything he knew was the same as in the book. What about Maine? Would he also become evil like in the book?
Seeing him like this, Maine thought Xie Sen was worried about him, so he patted Xie Sen on the shoulder, chuckled and shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
Xie Sen forced a smile, looking at Maine's face which had turned pale due to the poisoning, and he no longer had the idea of strangling the poison in the cradle.
Then we can only keep an eye on Maine and stop him from turning evil!
Maine patted Xie Sen's shoulder again and pointed to the tree trunk behind him, signaling him to rest. Xie Sen nodded, leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes.
At five o'clock in the morning, the forest seemed to be a stage, with all kinds of birds singing and insects chirping. Xie Sen opened his eyes and immediately turned his head to look at Maine.
Maine woke up at some point and was looking at him. Their eyes met and Xie Sen's heartbeat suddenly lost its rhythm.
How long has he been looking at me!
Xie Sen immediately looked away, but soon couldn't help but look back at Maine's face. Maine's face had regained color and looked pretty good: "How do you feel?"
"It's okay." Maine said, his voice a little dry, probably due to the aftereffects of a high fever.
Bai Jiao said: "The wound was treated very well yesterday, so it's not a big problem. But it's best to go to the hospital to completely clean the toxins after you get out."
Xie Sen's face flushed slightly, he didn't even notice that Bai Jiao had woken up.
Long Teng jumped up from the ground, stretched his arms and legs, and turned his neck, saying, "Ah, I didn't have a midnight snack last night. I'm so hungry. What should we have for breakfast?"
"Barbecue." Maine said, taking out the raw meat he had saved yesterday from his space backpack.
Long Teng ran over to help Maine skewer the meat. Xie Sen tilted his head and asked Maine, "Do you have any clean knives?"
Maine shook his head. His dagger had been used many times yesterday and was not clean.
Bai Jiao said, "I have one." As he spoke, he took out a clean knife the length of his palm and handed it to Xie Sen.
Xie Sen took it, walked to Long Teng's previous position, moved the potato wall next to the fire, and cut it into ten pieces with a knife, each piece was about the size of two A4 papers.
He kept four and asked Maine to put the rest in his backpack.
Long Teng asked curiously, "Why did you cut it off? Don't you need to keep it for repair?"
Xie Sen looked into his pure eyes and suddenly felt guilty, as if he was lying to a child.
He coughed lightly and said, "I'm sorry, I lied to you. This is not actually a tent. I can't explain what it is specifically. I cut it into pieces and prepared to roast it."
"Is it edible?" Long Teng's attention was completely drawn to the three words 'roast and eat'.
Xie Sen nodded helplessly and amusedly: "It might not be very delicious." He had never tried to make potatoes this big before.
However, he still underestimated the high quality of the food exchanged by the system. When the potatoes were baked, the space surrounded by potatoes was filled with the aroma of potatoes, which smelled very tempting.
Long Teng was roasting meat in his hands, his eyes fixed on the potatoes in Xie Sen's hand. When Xie Sen said they were cooked, he hurriedly said, "I want to eat!"
Xie Sen divided the baked potatoes into four small pieces, put them in the food box that previously contained the spicy jerky, and handed one piece to each person.
He took a bite, and a faint fragrance instantly filled his mouth. The taste was very light. If he didn't know that it was potato, he probably wouldn't have guessed it.
But it has a soft and fragrant texture, and although the taste is light, it is also very delicious.
"Delicious!" Long Teng's eyes lit up.
Maine and Bai Jiao obviously liked it too and quickly finished the potatoes.
Xie Sen and Bai Jiao continued to roast the rest of the potatoes. When the potatoes were finished and the meat was cooked, all four of them were very satisfied with the breakfast.
Maine turned on his personal bracelet, integrated the map information received by the information detector, sent a copy to each of the other teammates, marked the route to be taken next, and then said: "Let's go."
Xie Sen called the potatoes back to the space. Long Teng looked at him expectantly with sparkling eyes: "Can we eat another wall at noon?"
"no!"
Xie Sen shook his head. If the wall had not been accidentally broken, he would not have been willing to eat it. He had to use less energy so that he could activate the third plant as quickly as possible. It was too inconvenient to have an uncontrolled body.
Long Teng's smile fell, and Xie Sen smiled: "There is still some left in Maine's backpack, you can eat it at noon."
Long Teng immediately smiled brightly: "Great!"
He rushed forward as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood. Maine grabbed his shoulders and turned him around: "The other way around."
Long Teng laughed and touched the back of his head. Maine said, "You follow behind." Long Teng nodded.
Without Rui Luo's tricks and with Maine's detector, the rest of the journey for the four of them went very smoothly. Any lone wild animals they encountered were either quickly dealt with by Long Teng or ran away on their own.
When they were almost at the end, they walked into a foggy area and could not tell the direction at all. However, with Maine leading the way, they walked very easily.
Xie Sen thought of the strategy he had seen on the forum before and couldn't help laughing. Whether it is difficult or not depends on the individual.
He still took a half-hour break for lunch. At 2:15 in the afternoon, the four of them arrived at the finish line and swiped their personal wristbands on the recorder.
Qi Shao glanced at the time recording screen, then looked up at them, his eyes moving around them: "You are unharmed and have refreshed the time record. I am beginning to doubt whether this island is not suitable for the league venue.
Long Teng smiled innocently: "It's quite simple."
Xie Sen rolled his eyes at him and said, "Can you get out by yourself?"
Long Teng thought about how he couldn't tell the directions inside, so he immediately shook his head: "It's still difficult."
Qi Shao nodded his chin towards the door and said, "You can leave the island first. The results of the competition will be announced online at 5 pm, and the prizes will be issued at the same time."
Xie Sen thanked him politely, and the four of them boarded a small shuttle and left Yuzhu Island.
Xie Sen asked Bai Jiao and Long Teng if they had any urgent matters. They both said no. He said to the driver, "Go directly to the hospital."
Maine looked at him and said, "I'm fine. I'd rather go back and take a shower first."
"No," Xie Sen said seriously, "You must go to the hospital first. You have a fever."
He was a little worried. Maine's contracted beast had even changed. Who knew if the medicine had any hidden side effects.
Bai Jiao also said: "You'd better go to the hospital. Your temperature is abnormal now."
Maine compromised and went to the hospital. Bai Jiao and Long Teng did not leave after arriving at the hospital. They waited until Maine had cleared the toxins from his body before saying goodbye.
Before leaving, Bai Jiao pointed to his personal bracelet and said, "Remember to keep in touch. I still have many questions for you."
Xie Sen nodded. Bai Jiao collected a lot of animals and plants along the way. In Bai Jiao's words, those were raw materials for making medicine. He knew that Bai Jiao was very interested in his pepper trees and potatoes.
Xie Sen and Maine returned directly to the apartment from the hospital and went to their respective rooms to take a shower.
Xie Sen changed into a loose set of pajamas, wiped his hair and came out of the bathroom, feeling relaxed all over. He had been on the island for two days and one night, and had sweated a lot along the way, so he had wanted to take a shower for a long time.
After drying his hair, he threw himself on the bed to catch up on some sleep. He didn't wake up until the communication alert sounded. He squinted his eyes to check the time. It was not yet half past four and he hadn't even slept for an hour.
He turned over and answered the call: "Manager Sun, yes..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Sun Mao interrupted him anxiously: "Xiao Sen, I asked Mr. Qi, and he said you are back. Come to the company as soon as possible."
Xie Sen was completely awakened by his tone. He got up from the bed and asked while taking clothes from the closet, "What happened?"
"The young master of the Kes family ran to the center and forced himself to form a contract with the giant lion beast, but was attacked. He was taken away by the Kes family for rescue. The giant lion beast was injured and went crazy, and has already injured several feeders. Come over and see if you can comfort him. If not, you can only..."
He paused and said, "We can only apply to the Contracted Beast Research Institute and use extraordinary measures."
Even though he didn't say it explicitly, Xie Sen knew that extraordinary measures would definitely be cruel.
Xie Sen thought of the giant lion beast that was as docile as a big cat in front of him, and he hated Rui Luo even more: "I'll be there right away."
He had never met a more obnoxious person than Rillo.
He could completely guess what Rui Luo was thinking, knowing that he would definitely lose to Maine, so he might as well make a contract with the giant lion beast in advance, so that even if Maine was angry, he would have no way to stop him.
Every contracted beast will only recognize one master. As long as he forms a contract with Giant Lionmon, Maine will be completely out of luck. This is a good plan.
He quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the bedroom. Maine heard him and opened the door. Seeing him dressed and looking grim, he asked, "What happened?"
Xie Sen quickly recounted the matter: "I'm leaving first."
"Wait, I'll go with you." Maine went back to the bedroom halfway through his words and came out a minute later.
The two arrived at the Gold Medal Maintenance Center and went directly to Area 4. Standing at the entrance of Area 4 were four security guards holding hot weapons and looking nervous.
Their standing posture was different from usual. All four of them were facing the door, weapons in their hands, with alert looks on their faces, as if ready to attack at any time.
The door in front of them was bulging outwards, and the bulge was gradually getting deeper. Every time it got deeper, the ground was shaking slightly.
Xie Sen's expression changed slightly. He had already experienced the sound insulation effect of the buildings in District 4. Although there was no sound, seeing this scene, it was not difficult to guess that the giant lion beast was banging on the door.
"Here." Sun Mao's voice came from the left corner, and he waved towards Xie Sen.
After Xie Sen walked over, he discovered that there were several small shuttles parked behind the corner. In addition to Sun Mao, there were six other people. Except for a short and well-mannered man, the other men were very tall.
Sun Mao quickly explained the situation: "The giant lion beast kept banging on the door and trying to leave. At first, our people went in to calm it down, but it attacked us indiscriminately."
Sun Mao looked up and said, "The only way to get in now is to open the dome and take a flying vehicle. This situation is special and very dangerous. I will go in with you."
Xie Sen pursed his lips: "What if it doesn't work?"
Sun Mao sighed: "At this rate, District 4 won't be able to hold out for long. If it gets out in its current state, it will cause a huge disaster. To avoid the disaster, we can only kill it."
Xie Sen clenched his fist: "I'll try."
"I'll go with you." Maine originally wanted to persuade him, but seeing his determined expression, he didn't persuade him, but suggested going together.
Xie Sen shook his head: "I'll go by myself. I'm safer than you." He knew in his heart that the natural aura on him was very appealing to animals.
Maine frowned: "Let's go together, otherwise you can't go. If I'm in danger, I have the ability to escape."
Xie Sen was helpless, and Sun Mao rolled his eyes at the two of them: "What time is it? Can you stop showing off your affection and just be together? Isn't he very powerful? Maybe he can help."
Xie Sen glared at him: "What are you talking about! What do you mean by showing off..."
"Okay," Sun Mao patted his shoulder, "I know you're shy, so I won't say any more. Let's get on the shuttle first."
Xie Sen's words were stuck in his throat, and he swallowed them secretly. He once again felt the urge to beat up his boss, so he gritted his teeth and followed Sun Mao onto the shuttle.
Sun Mao turned around and put his hand on his shoulder to stop him: "Let your boyfriend go first, and you go last. You sit by the door so that it will be easier to appease the giant lion beast."
It’s true that he is a male friend, but why does it sound different when Sun Mao says it?
Xie Sen resisted the urge to explain, it was really hard to explain. What if Maine heard it and thought he didn't consider him a friend? He knew too well how sensitive Maine was about the topic of friends.
Maine got on the shuttle and sat in the middle seat. After Maine was seated, Xie Sen got on the shuttle and sat near the door. The staff outside the shuttle closed the door.
The pilot started the shuttle and raised it to the top. At the same time, the transparent dome separated from left and right. Looking down from above, it looked like a pearl oyster slowly opening its shell.
The shuttle drove into Area 4, and the roar of angry and ferocious beasts instantly reached their ears. The dome quickly closed again, isolating the sounds from inside and outside.
The shuttle slowly descended. Xie Sen saw through the window that the giant lion beast kept hitting the gate of Area 4. The door was stained with a lot of blood, and his heart instantly tightened.
Giant lion beast!
He couldn't help but speak angrily: "What did Rui Luo do? How did he force the contract?"
When they first met, even though the giant lion beast was injured and confronted the contracted beasts of Sun Mao and others, it was not crazy at all and definitely did not hurt anyone. It became like this now. It must be that Rui Luo did something too much!
Sun Mao's face froze, and he wiped his face: "It was my negligence. He bribed a feeder to put drugs in the beast's food. This drug will make the contracted beast weak all over. When the beast master cannot make the contracted beast surrender, he uses this drug to take the opportunity to force the contract."
"But he neglected the power of the A-level contracted beast, and the medicine he gave to the feeder was not strong enough. In addition, the giant lion beast was very cautious. Apart from the food you fed it before, it ate very little at each meal. It recovered in the middle of the contract, causing Ruiluo to backfire."
"It was also injured, so it went mad and no longer trusted people."
"How did he get into Area 4?" Xie Sen looked at the giant lion beast that was roaring and banging on the door with heartache.
Sun Mao was helpless: "He said he wanted to learn more about the habits of the giant lion beast so that it would be easier to find his contracted beast in the future. His reasons were sufficient, and with his status, we couldn't refuse."
Xie Sen gritted his teeth and said, "Are we just going to let this go?"
"No," Sun Mao said firmly, "Gold Medal will not give up."
At this time, the shuttle had descended not far from the tail of the giant lion beast. Sun Mao turned the topic to the present and gave careful instructions.
"The door on your side will open soon. Hold the handle with your left hand," he pointed to the handle on top of the shuttle, "and the shuttle will fly to its tail in a moment. The shuttle will drive away quickly. Reach out and touch it, and we'll observe its reaction."
Xie Sen nodded, reached out to grab the handle, and when the door opened, he subconsciously tightened his grip.
Suddenly, he felt a warm touch on his waist. He turned back in surprise. Maine put his arms around his waist and said, "Don't be afraid. I will hold you and you won't fall out."
Xie Sen looked at the handsome face in front of him, swallowed his saliva, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he turned his head abruptly to look outside the door: "Yeah."
Sun Mao silently touched his stomach. He was so full from the dog food that he didn’t want to eat dinner!
The driver asked, “Are you ready?”
Xie Sen took a deep breath, squatted and moved out: "Okay."
The shuttle dropped slightly, then flew forward quickly. Xie Sen stretched out his hand and touched the giant lion beast in less than a second. The shuttle suddenly rose high, and he fell backwards and hit a strong chest.
The doors closed at the same time. Xie Sen slowed down and looked out the window.
"It works!" Sun Mao said excitedly.
The original violent roar disappeared, and the giant lion stopped banging on the door. It turned its head to look towards the tail, but didn't see anyone, so it raised its big head again.
Then he let out a soft roar and ran towards the shuttle.
The pilot was so frightened that his hands shook and he quickly raised the shuttle.
Sun Mao looked at Xie Sen: "He should be looking for you."
Xie Sen saw the changes that had taken place in the giant lion beast because of his brief touch, and he felt indescribably touched and nodded: "Yes."
He looked at the bloody head of the giant lion beast and felt very distressed: "Go down and prepare medicine. I will clean its wound."
The driver's voice suddenly rose: "Are you sure it doesn't want to attack us?"
Sun Mao glanced at him and said, "Are you doubting my professionalism? I know the meaning of the various reactions of the contracted beasts better than you do. Land!"
The driver lamented: "I should have asked for leave today!"
Sun Mao rolled his eyes at him: "I'm here, what are you afraid of? My salary is much higher than yours, would I joke with my life?"
After hearing this, the driver calmed down and landed the shuttle at the farthest location from the giant lion beast. As soon as it landed, he immediately opened the door and huddled in the driver's seat.
Xie Sen raised his foot to go out, only to find that Maine's hand was still on his waist. He turned his head, and Maine let go of his hand and reminded him: "Still be careful."
Xie Sen nodded. If he had never come into contact with the giant lion beast, he would definitely be scared when encountering this situation, but now, he was not afraid at all.
This is the giant lionmon who will lie down in front of him obediently and let him play with his claws, and this is also because of him that the giant lionmon is no longer crazy.
After Xie Sen got off the shuttle, Maine and Sun Mao followed him.
The giant lion beast ran up to the few people, tilted its head to stare at Sun Mao, and made a dangerous warning sound in its throat.
Sun Mao took a few steps back: "It seems that it doesn't welcome me."
The giant lion beast looked down at Xie Sen. Xie Sen jumped up and touched its chin. It snorted softly in its throat, seeming to be very aggrieved.
Xie Sen made sure that it treated him normally, walked to its front legs, patted it, and gently pulled the mane hanging down its neck. The giant lion beast turned its head to look at it, then lay down.
Xie Sen rubbed its neck again, turned his head and said to Sun Mao: "Prepare medicine and water."
Sun Mao breathed a sigh of relief: "Let someone arrange it right away."
Xie Sen cleaned the giant lion beast's wounds and personally brought animal food to it. During the whole process, the giant lion beast was very docile, but more clingy than before, and always wanted Xie Sen to be close to it.
With the help of Xie Sen, Sun Mao gave the giant lion beast a full body examination. After the examination, he did not look very good.
He looked at Maine and said, "I heard from Master Qi that you won the championship, and the Qianx family has already paid for the contracted beast. You can form a contract with it now."
He sighed, "Although it behaved very docilely in front of Xiao Sen, we cannot ignore its previous madness. Its backlash injured its brain and its condition is very unstable. The safest and best way for it is to let it form a bond with the beast master who can make it submit as soon as possible."
Xie Sen's heart tightened. He knew very well that Maine could not form a contract at all because his contracted beast was not the giant lion beast.
Maine glanced at Sun Mao and lowered his head: "I can't form a bond with it."
Xie Sen's eyes widened. Maine's tone was aggrieved and frightened, which sounded really distressing.
But this shouldn't be the case. He was clearly excited about the transformation of his contracted beast! Moreover, this tone was really unkind!
Sun Mao sighed heavily and patted Maine on the shoulder: "I'm sorry to trouble you. If you form a bond with it, Rui Luo will not let it go and will definitely cause trouble for you."
He said indignantly: "The Kes family is really too much! After all, your last name is Kes!"
Xie Sen: “?”
Manager Sun, are you sure this is the reason Maine said we can't conclude the contract?
But if you think about it carefully, it’s best that Manager Sun thinks this way, otherwise how can you explain it?
It's easy to tell that the contracted beast has suddenly changed, so it can't be easily known to others.
"In that case," Sun Mao pondered, "I'll contact the Yaben family. He is the beast master with the highest synchronization rate with Giant Lion Beast besides you and Rui Luo."
Xie Sen had some impression of the tall and thin young man from the Yaben family, but he didn't know everything. He rubbed the giant lion beast's neck and asked, "What is the young master of the Yaben family like? Will he be nice to it?"
Sun Mao laughed: "Even if a person is really bad, he will be good to the contracted beast he has made."
Xie Sen was relieved, but then he worried, "I wonder if he can make it surrender."
It turned out that Xie Sen's concerns were not unfounded.
